There's no place like home for John Paul II, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Saturday. They had just enough and edged out the Rosehill Christian Eagles 19-18 on Thursday. Considering the Centurions' hitters had been struggling lately, the high-scoring outing was a much-needed turnaround.
Erin Gonzalez was a standout: she scored four runs and stole a base while getting on base in all five of her plate appearances. She also brought in an RBI, marking her first of the season. Another player making a difference was Mikaela Lozano, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with four RBI, two runs, and one triple.
John Paul II was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .591. Their batting average was a full 0 higher than the also-impressive .400 that Rosehill Christian posted.
John Paul II's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-6.
They will have a chance to go back-to-back against Rosehill Christian: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
